P90X



I am completely exhausted today. I've been working hard the past month and a half to loose some weight and regain my college body. Too many sodas, cookies, and ice cream over the past few years. Some of my friends here have said that I've lost a few pounds. It is all thanks to a little torture program called P90X.

P90X is basically a total body fitness program on DVD. Several of the guys here pulled me into their little group, and I'm glad they did. Now don't get me wrong, this program sucks! After we are done each day, we can barely walk. I love it though. I've already lost five pounds of fat boy and I definately feel a lot stronger!

I can't wait for tomorrow. We started two-a-days this week, and it's even worse. That basically means three-a-days for me and Doc (Major John Fulk, Physican’s Assistant) because we run together or get on the treadmill and the eliptical at lunch every day and compete for how many calories we can burn. I sleep like a baby on those nights.

Tonight we did what is called plyometrics which is a lot of jumping and cardiovascular exercises. About 5 minutes into the 50 minute work out, I'm wasted. It's tough, that's why we allow each other to have pizza from the pizzaria on the camp once per week on plyo nights. Boy, did it taste good tonight. It's great having Doc around because he keeps me from eating all the junk food around here, and over eating in the Dining Facility. Got to get to bed. Three workouts tomorrow.

  2. Yeah, thanks for the vote of confidence Mom! I've kept it up for almost two months now. The group wouldn't let me miss workouts anyway unless I wanted relentless crap for quitting.
